If I like anybody's performance like singing, dancing, playing any instrument etc., whether they are a big artist or an amateur artist, I immediately congratulate them and show my happiness over their performance. But some people do not show their enjoyment of the performance and will be silent. It is only the nature of the individual. What sort of person are you, do you congratulate the artist or just admire and keep quiet?
[question posted by Buchi_bulla]
responses and comments:
Yes, dear i congrats them weather its big or small kind of performance and also give them a big clap. [binagupta]
That is really sweet of you to encourage the performer. It goes very long in their coming forward in that field. [Buchi_bulla]
I oftentimes praise a person's great performance, I may not congratulate them or say the word congratulations but I would always say that their performance is great especially if they really deserve such recognition. [newuserptc]
That is really very nice of you to encourage the performer newuserptc. That will give him phillip to concentrate more in that art. [Buchi_bulla]
i wanted to congratulate them closely and personally but most the time i don't get chance to get closer to them, so what i do is i show my appreciation through clapping, that's the only thing i can least... [Charm21]
That is also one way of showing your appreciation and admiration is it not? All the artists certainly need our appreciation for them to climb the ladder in that field of art. [Buchi_bulla]
I am the type to congratulate, because by doing that it can build up the confidence of the person and he or she will know that the performance was appreciated. If we just sit down and keep quiet without offering even a word of congratulations, for me I think that it doesn't show much character because either we are jealous that people are more talented than us, or that we have the mindset that it is the performers responsibility to perform for us. In this matter, I think we should not be selfish in offering our congratulations if the person really deserves it. Even if the performance isn't that great, as long as if the person has shown effort I think that is well worth a pat on the back. rolleyeshappy [gerald_lian]
Now that's a compliment put into practice....lolz....thanks! niceday [gerald_lian]
I have no hesitation in giving praise for a deed reasonably well done.I am never too critical except with my students [here I cannot accept mistakes, because it is my duty to correct them.].But, if it is a matter of singing, dancing , performance, why even cooking or cleaning I am quite spontaneous in praising a person.YOu must look a the face of my servant when I say a good word.It is a pleasure to give praise and see happiness on faces. [kalav56]
yes,of course.if they really perform well and i like it,i will cheer for them.I don't care who they are. [castlehillpeter]
I like clapping my hands specially if the performance was really great, sometimes I even get up just to show my appreciation for it. At work, I try to be really appreciative, and say thank you, and good work to my team mates if they have done something really great. It really helps with their ego, and it can really boost their self esteem which in turn will make them more effective at work. [Ingkingderders]
I just admire them & clap my hands after the performance. I think for me its enough appreciation. [happy2512]
Yes ofcourse. If I come across anyone who has done some remarkable thing, I congratulate that person. I think we all need encouragement to perform anything, that can be given by congratulating the person for his/her achievement. [tingtong]
hi buchi_bulla, such type of encouragement which you are giving to the artists are remarkable,but i never visit dance,singing,playing and instrumental programmes,where is the time to me to visit all these things,now i am not seeing movies also in the tv, net is my life and entertainer,have a nice dayniceday [yugasini]
Yes, I do congratulate if I really like the performance. It is very important I think. It encourages the participants or anyone who performs to inspire with courage. Life is tough-each of us experiences disappointment, loss and crisis in the form of sickness, injury, financial problems, divorce and struggles with relationships. Depression is at an all time high and costs us millions in lost time and lives. What words could I say to make a difference in others' lives and give them hope and courage to keep going…You can change your attitude and any relationship with others if you learn these principles. Knowing how to influence your children in a positive way will help them to reach their full potential. Not learning these principles can hurt them. So congrats those whom you like most especially kids. It gives more encouragements to perform in future. The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond the wildest dreams. [airakumar]
I congratulate those who are closer to me and those who remain humble amidst the prestigious recognition or awards he receive who stay the same person with no greediness while I just keep quiet and never mind to greet those who have the tendency to boast or manipulate other people mind when they become so over zealous with their award have the manner to put other people down. [neelianoscet]
It depends on how good their performance was. If it was bad, I generally clap politely. If it was okay, I give a good clap and smile. If it is one of a kind and superb I will get out of my chair clap, then after wards I will introduce myself to them if I get a chance and tell them how much I enjoyed their performance. I don't believe in the whistling and yelling at the end, because that is for sports, not for performances. [Detrox93]
yes i do... i myself like to be acknowledged for my efforts and performances... so i will do the same thing to other people as well... it doesn't take lots of effort to praise somebody but it will really make that person happy and boost the spirit and motivation as well to keep up the good work... it is like a non-monetary incentive for the person which i feel is very useful... take care and have a nice day... [lingli_78]
Hi Buchi_bulla, I will congratulate him/her/them by way of cherring and clapping, as I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Only the other day we were at the park and as the boys were off playing with their Dad I was just sat there on the bench, and along came this woman pushing her daughter on a swing nearby. She started singing "These are a few of my favourite things", you know, from Mary Poppins and she sang beautifully. When she got interrupted because her son and partner came along and the little fella was about to get knocked over from being in the path of the swing, she stopped singing. I then commented on her beautiful voice as I really appreciate music and singing, and people with this kind of talent in particular. She was ever so humble and appreciative about my comments. Fiona. [fmpisces]
Oops I meant cheering [fmpisces]
I never detach from me the attitude of giving best compliments to people, whether he/she have done things great or small.A compliment can move a person's heart. [mackiejp]
I would congratulate them because they deserve to hear the praise after working hard to bring a good performance. Sometimes people need to hear that they did well to help them be confident and continue what they do. [fanficgirl28]
lols. this topic really gets me. well, that depends on MY mood. if i feel like congratulating him, then i would without hesitation. But if i dont feel like it, whether he deserves one, sorry, i wont do it. i know my behaviour may seem rude to other people especially not recognizing them but i think that only shows my appreciation in a sincere manner. [jbaunillo]
Hi Buchi, I would like to give them a big hand to show my appreciation if the splendid performance really impresses me. I understand that the sound of warm applause actually is the great and best encouragement to a performer. Therefore I don't feel reluctant to to give my wee clapping to the person or artist I admire. It doesn't matter he or she is a famous or an amateur artist. When I was young I felt shy to show my appreciation to any performer though the performance was really excellent blush After having more life experience I realize that a simple encouragement is really important and meaningful to a performer or whoever when he is on the stage. So be an generous angel and don't feel stingy to dedicate the appreciation then. Have a nice day niceday [lkbooi]
I'm pretty shy, so for me to go up to the individual and congratulate them would mean they should have really caught my attention with something I have to tell them. I can usually congratulate them online with twitter or on facebook fan pages, so I don't think I would. [tman555]
I do congratulate them.I would give them positive remarks.I am praising them, but applauding their talents.Eveyrbody likes to be applauded for what they have achieved.I agree, there are people who are silent even after seeing achievements.My dad was like that.Even if i have wona championship and went onto prove or win tigns, he was totally silent on it.Rarely, has he applauded me and sometimes it kept me wondering what is wrong with him when others have acknowledged my talent.But then, perhaps he was expressive as he should have been i guess.Thanks! [UltimateAsoka]
It depends on my mood. If someone perform well I would congratulate them if my mood was good at that time. Otherwise may be I liked the performance but I won't show the same reaction. But I must admit that most of the time I would like to show my appreciation to them. [vajradev]
Yes, I certainly would congratulate a person on a good performance as it would boost their self-esteem and confidence. Having been a professional musician myself, it is a great reward when somebody spoke good of my performance. happy [derek_a]
oh yes i always do, let it be any body my friend, my family members or even an unknown person, just see the glow in the face of the person after you congratlate, it makes one not only happy but pumps tons of happyness thanks Buchi for this nice discussions bhuwan [Professor2010]
Hi Whether I like their performance or not, whether they really perform well or not, I will appreciate them because they are taking pains and trying hard to exhibit their talent for which they should be appreciated. So I will congratulate them and pep them up and motivate their spirits. But If I liked their performance really well, I will congratulate them from the bottom of my heart sincerely and honestly [vathsala30]
Hi..Buchi I like all of others have a performance like with my friends i Kong congratulated them when all of them can do good performance i gave them a big ground of aplose....... [claricsexplorer123]
It depends on my mood, if i feel chitty chatty at that time, I would be vocal about my admiration and stand up to congratulate the performer. If not, I just keep quiet, walk away, but keep the memories of such a wonderful performance at the show. [kquiming]
yeah,I do but with the balance so that the other might not get on my head1 [jagdeepmanchanda]
hi buchi_bulla, If the performance were my friends, i will cheer out loud and congrats there but if a stranger performance but very good, i will cheer inside my heart and keep quiet not to attract attention. [reneyun]
I love singing and dancing and that is the reason I praise and congratulate peoples who does good. Praising singing or dancing or any action boosts the confidence of the performers. I love to see all around me happy and by congratulating people I do a bit of it. [AjaySinghBaghel]
Hi Buchi, I am very generous in giving our praises and affirmation to those deserving people. i always go out my way to congratulate people who are great performers. i am vocal with my cheers and affirmations. [msfrancisco9369]
I happen to be someone who appreciates things silently. I will continue to give my support with my presence but clapping, I am too lazy to exercise my palms and wrists. Afterall, clapping has become a formality. People clap whether they like it or not. [whyaskq]
I always clap if I like it, but don't clap if I think it stinks. [coffeegurl]
I always congratulate people on their performance, even if I didn't like the performance. The person performing worked hard and des to be congratulated for their hard work. I always show my happiness for that person and their performanace. I'm not one that just sits by quietly. [WilsonFam5]
I always try to congratulate people if I thought they performed well. It's when I didn't like the performance that I feel awkward and am unsure of exactly what I should do. It's like when I've gone to see a play and thought that the acting and stage direction were terrible and then afterwards the whole cast is lined up by the exit so you have to greet them in order to leave. I absolutely hate that! If I want to see the cast afterwards and congratulate them, then I would definitely like to seek them out on my own rather than having an awkward greeting where I mumble some sort of positive comment just so I can get out the door. [lindsiko]
If I enjoy the performance and am able to speak with the performer, I say how much I enjoyed it. [6precious102]
hi buchi, just like you I do congratulate them or compliment them when I like their performances. I think through that we could help them boost their self esteem and do a lot better on their talent or whatever they did that pleased me. Not only that you made them happy but you helped them as well. Happy mylotting :) [chiepao]
I definitely congratulate the person as soon as the performance is over, if I am able to. I think it makes them feel good and it also lets them know that we thought that they did a good job. I think it's rude not to tell someone they did a good job, as long as you are telling the truth. [cortney09]
I guess that I like congratulating people if nothing else, just for their effort. I think that it really takes a lot for a person to perform and I think we need to really help them build themselves up as performers.rolleyes [cortney09]
hi,Buchi,you are true,its all depend on indidual.But me,if i obderve some arrogancy in them eventhogh they might be good performer,i don't want to congrat them.I feel the performane will shine with behaveour also,inspite of their peromances in different fields. [Baluyadav]
Congratulating someone would be a sign that you really appreciate someone's performance. And that only goes to show that you did enjoy what she or he was performing. In my case, even if it's just a small event like some friends I know who would tend to play drums and sing in front of us, I would definitely congratulate them. In performance, I would easily be pleased since I am a music person and I really love music especially if it's live. But if those big artist or even artist that I don't know, if I will have the chance to congratulate them, I will sure do it. But most of the time, it seem really hard to catch them in that scenario. So, I would never have the chance to say congratulations to them.blink [joannaleed]
Hi! Im kinda slow with congratulating people. Luckily, many other congratulate spontaneously so I dont have to. But I do punch the wall and say congratulations if it was me thats been closest to the performer. I clap my hands like everyone does as another way of congratulating the person who did well with his/her performance. when i thank for their performance I'm not disguising. its from my heart. [cowboyofhell]
I always feel that a sincere expression of gratitude or appreciation is in order should you hear a good performance, or know that someone has accomplished something in their lives that can be congratulated. [sulynsi]
of course i congratulate them especially when I know the performers.. to entertain people is not easy that is why they really deserve some appreciation.. don't worry guys, you will experience the feeling of being appreciated when you perform in front of public.,. keep mylotting guys.. gud luck [edzece]
If given the opportunity, I congratulate the artist. But I generally don't get close to the artist, so they merely get applause and a standing ovation, if they're really good. Maybe a cheer, too. [hofferp]
